Here's the exit interview with this week's eliminated contestant.

Really bad decision, IMO.

Also -- Henry Rollins is guest judge next week!

And: wallpapers of all the wedding photos.

Agreed 100%.

I am GENUINELY terrified Tyra is going to win. omg.

Ha! Nice icon.

I am GENUINELY terrified Tyra is going to win

OMG noooooo it's not possible! (Apparently she hates Sahara because Sahara said that Beyonce has cellulite? I mean --- CRAAAZY). But now it is! I don't get it. I always thought Ru seemed to value niceness (or at least graciousness) quite a lot, but maybe not. This was just *wrong*. Plus, Merle said that she'd vote Tyra off if it was up to her -- but she still won :/ (I guess the other judges don't really have much of a say. Omg, maybe Tyra Banks has possessed Ru and now Ru is making crappy decisions!)

I'm still stumped that Morgan was kicked off. They didn't even try to give a good reason for putting her in the bottom 2.

[meiou-set.livejournal.com]

I know that exchange with Tatiana where Tyra threatens her for laughing at Beyonce was ridic. And yeah I felt that being gracious is a top priority, but Tyra really is another person on the runway. While she's onstage she's so pretty and sweet, but off she's really self-centered. I can't believe Ru let it slide that she was sleeping during the pole dancing prep.

It worries me--I mean look at what happened last season when Rebecca was kept over Jade, despite Jade's amazing performance. I cannot believe at the end it was Nina, Bebe and *Rebecca* who should have gone home like three eps before, I mean she wasn't even in the same dimension as the other two queens.

Ugh, I really, really don't want Tyra to win. Team Jujubee all the way!

I can't believe Ru let it slide that she was sleeping during the pole dancing prep.

This! And, Ru saw her completely lame-ass 'Sasha Fierce' impression in the game-show challenge. Ick.

Haha, I think that everyone should stop trying to get her to change (it makes them - or specifically, Tatianna, look bad) and instead just throw around insults about Beyonce when Tyra can hear. Then Tyra would have a breakdown and have to leave. That would be hilarious :D

Jujubee was fantastic this week! Although, to be fair, she *does* try to start shit sometimes. But she's clever about it and isn't obvious about it :) I love her. Weirdly enough (considering that I really find Raven unlikeable ... but less so, recently), I really thought Raven deserved to win this challenge. Her jailbait story was cute.

[meiou-set.livejournal.com]

I hated that she completely misread the challenge (the whole imitating them and not being funny while doing so) and was so confident about it. And it just about killed me that Raven (who I also thought sucked at that challenge) agreed with her.

Haha, it would be amazing, if they totally dissed Beyonce just to rile up Tyra.

I think you're right about Jujubee, she does start shit sometimes. I just think she's the strongest one there. I don't really like Raven all that much (though I sympathized with her explanation of why she chose the order she did). And while I think Pandora is cute, I don't think she's got enough glam for the competition. Sahara can maybe pull it off, but she's all over the place sometimes. Then Tatiana's fashion sucks pretty consistently and Jessica Wild only marginally less so. So honestly I think it comes down to Tyra, Raven and Jujubee. Of the three I like Jujubee the most in terms of style and personality.

Still, I feel like this batch is not the caliber of the last. Maybe I'm biased.

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm biased too! *points to icon*

Personally, Pandora's my favourite, but yeah, you're right. If last season's winner is anything to go by, they (well, Ru) put a really strong emphasis on glamour.

Oh, while I'm being nitpicky, another thing about Tyra that annoyed me was when she was all 'they're all copying me with the facial hair', which is just ... no. Every drag king in all of history has known about drawing on facial hair. She didn't invent it. Gr. But seeing as this season is emphasising the drama so much more, I suspect Tyra's going to be kept around until the finals, for the conflict she brings.

[miss-miso.livejournal.com]

Morgan???!!!! WHAT. I...have nothing else to say. :(((

(oh, wait, I do. HENRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Uh. Can you tell I'm excited? He probably talks for all of three seconds, but I'll take it.)

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

What, did you like Morgan too? I thought I was the only one who thought she was adorable and misunderstood. And I loved her wedding photo! She was the only one who did something completely different for the boy look.

I have to catch up with Henry's career post-black flag, I really do.

[miss-miso.livejournal.com]

Morgan isn't one of my absolute faves, but I rate her way, way higher than Tyra. Grrr.

(I haven't seen the ep yet; I'm being naughty and spoiling myself. But I couldn't find a link for it! Poos.)

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

good godzilla, i just recognised your icon! rar.

couldn't find one either :( i streamed it by DLing this (http://hotspotshield.com/), which prevents the logo (http://www.logoonline.com/shows/rupauls_drag_race/season_2/series.jhtml) website from recognising if you're not in the US. it works, but slows things down while switched on, for me.

[purlewe.livejournal.com]

I am thrilled to find this community. YAY Drag Race!

And I just have to add that Tyra ain't no Beyonce, and she should have been kicked off by now for her manners.

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad that there are other obsessed-with-Ru people out there.

Tyra ain't no Beyonce, and she should have been kicked off by now for her manners.

Ugh, I know! I haven't seen the new ep. yet, but according to the previews they have to sing in this one. So I'm convinced that her obnoxious singing last week was actually the reason she was allowed to win the wedding challenge, so that she'd have immunity this week. She needs to stick around for the conflict she brings. But nobody should ever have to listen to Tyra trying be Beyonce.

Anyway -- feel free to post your reviews/rants or anything at all. **is not pressuring you, i swear. just doesn't want to be the only one posting ;)**

[purlewe.livejournal.com]

I would hate to post a review before someone saw it. I got totally called out on my LJ from a friend who hadn't seen this week yet.. and all I had said was "I so wish Tyra hadn't had immunity" so I hate to be the one who is the spoiler and pop someone's bubble.

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I try to keep spoilers out of anything that's not labelled and under a cut, so that people can avoid spoilers. Hm. I should go back and check to make sure I didn't post any spoilers earlier. I don't know if things like who the guest judge is can be considered a spoiler?

[purlewe.livejournal.com]

I don't think a guest judge would be considered a spoiler.. I mean.. we don't know who they are BUT it isn't like it predicts who win.

Besides. I wish we knew who the judges were ahead of time anyway. I would LOVE to have Jay McCaroll be a judge/create looks for the girls. *sigh. I did think your drag king idea was fabu tho. I would love to see more cross drag love. Why do they have to be separate camps?

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha that would be amazing. Jay is so amazing! He would dress them up in lots of layers and big chunky cardigans and they'd be so mad at him. Then he and Santino could snarl at each other and have a bitchfight.

I'd love more cross-drag love too. I feel like Pandora Boxx would finally win. It was so cute when she talked about how she felt like a drag king during the wedding challenge when she was dressing as a man.

Why the separate camps? Because even within the queer community we're intolerant about people who are different types of queer because that way we can feel like we're better than gay men/lesbians/trans people/whatever we're not??. I don't know.

[purlewe.livejournal.com]

It would totally b'c a McCarroll-Santino bitchfest. But I would love it anyway. I can see Jay's stuff walking down the runway again and again and never tire of it.

Yeah.. The hate hate that goes on in my town between the rival GLBTQ orgs is somewhat legendary. one of the main reasons I don't volunteer anymore.. once you are labeled as a friend of one event then you are practically banned from another. I have enough hate in my life I don't need it from my queer peers.

But a cross-drag event really is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I can put a fire under a friend or 2 and make something happen.

[anansie-s.livejournal.com]

Sorry things are like that in your town :( Ah, group politics. Always fun.

I wonder if I can put a fire under a friend or 2 and make something happen.

OMG, yes, do! I've seen queer burlesque (not drag) done with female, trans and male performers *together*, which was great. But not cross-drag. That would be pretty amazing.
